Per your letter of November 20, 1998, I am sending the following information regarding the 10 and 20 N.S. banknotes in my collection:

10 N.S.

1.2.91 10 N.S. AB, YA (I have tried and tried to get an AA!)

10.9.92 10 N.S. AD, AE, AF, YA (I have tried to get an AC!)

16.6.94 10 N.S. AG, AH, AI, YA

20.4.95 10 N.S. AJ, AK, AL, AM, YA

25.4.96 10 N.S. AN, Ap, AQ, AR, AS, AT (I have been unable to confirm whether or not AO has been issued.  It is the old matter of AI and AO not being printed because the letters might be confused with the numbers of 1 and 0 in the serial numbers.  However, if this has been a true concern by the issuing authorities there have certainly been a lot of exceptions, such as the 16.6.94 10 N.S. AI banknote above.

20 N.S.

1.2.91 20 N.S. AA, AB, YA

25.6.92 20 N.S. AC, AD, AE, YA

16.6.94 20 N.S. AF, AG, AH, YA

20.4.95 20 N.S. AI, AJ, AK

25.4.96 20 N.S. AK, AL, AM

I have a strong preference not to sell my extras as they may be used for leverage in acquiring the banknotes that I need.
